Taraba state govt to spends awards N2.2bn radio digitisation contract

The Taraba Government on Tuesday in
Jalingo signed a N2.2 billion contract with Pinnacle Communications for
the digitization of its radio station, Taraba State Broadcasting Service
(TSBS).
The Commissioner for Information and Re-orientation, Mr Anthony
Danburam, signed for the state government, while Mr James Segun signed
on behalf of Pinnacle Communications.
“The contract is in partial fulfillment of Gov. Darius Ishaku’s
campaign promise to beat the 2017 deadline for full digitization of all
broadcast media organizations in Nigeria.
“The contract includes the supply and installation of complete
state-of-the-art digital radio studio and transmission equipment for the
TSBS AM/FM stations in Jalingo.

“Pinnacle Communications will also supply and install digital
equipment for Bali, Sardauna and Wukari booster stations, including
frequency modulated feeder stations,’’ the commissioner said.
He said that similarly, Pinnacle Communications would supply and
install 50 kilowatts and 10 kilowatts AM and FM digital transmission
studios each for Bali, Sardauna and Wukari booster stations.
Danburam said the organization would supply and install digital
outside broadcast vans and 10 kilowatts digital transmitter/studios for
the booster stations.
The commissioner said that the state was convinced to engage Pinnacle
Communications for the project because it had, in 2016, completed and
handed over to the Taraba Government a digitized television station.

Segun said that the radio digitization contract would be completed and delivered in seven months.
“Our company is known for delivering quality jobs and we are
committed to delivering a world class radio station within this
stipulated period,’’ he said.
